Description : The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders
that share the common features of skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility,
and tissue fragility (Beighton, 1993). In the Villefranche classification of EDS (Beighton
et al., 1998), 6 main descriptive types were substituted for earlier types numbered
with Roman numerals: classic type (EDS I and EDS II), hypermobility type (EDS III,
130020), vascular type (EDS IV, 130050), kyphoscoliosis type (EDS VI, 225400), arthrochalasia
type (EDS VIIA and VIIB, 130060), and dermatosparaxis type (EDS VIIC, 225410). Six
other forms were listed, including a category of 'unspecified forms.' Major and minor
diagnostic criteria were defined for each type and complemented whenever possible
with laboratory findings. The main features of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS
I and EDS II) are loose-jointedness and fragile, bruisable skin that heals with peculiar
'cigarette-paper' scars (Beighton, 1993).;
